The caliper set up won't be any larger than the set up I have just fit further round the disc as the pads are longer , so should fit under 15" wheels
will try them on Saturday

I tried S2 twin pots and they did not fit inside the Ronal 15" wheel, needed to have 16" for it to clear and this was using the S2 carrier too that fitted straight onto the later Struts I am using for my 280mm G60 discs.

Can it be because of disc size? S2 uses 276 mm... Also the same calipers are used in 10vt A200 and B3 A90 20vq and for both default wheel size is 15".

Have to say I was surprised as I thought the Ur q used the same twin pots. It was very close to fitting and guess the extra 2mm on the radius would provide 'just' enough clearance. Gone back to single pot now that to be fair are more than capable in my series 2 that is some 200+kg lighter than the series 3 with the same engine.
